Quantum computing is one of the most hyped topics in technology, and for security professionals it carries a particular weight. Beyond the general excitement about a new kind of computing lies a specific and serious question: what will quantum computers mean for the security we rely on today? Much of the encryption that protects data, communications, and systems rests on mathematical problems that ordinary computers cannot solve in any practical amount of time. Quantum computers, at least in principle, could one day solve some of those problems, which would have real consequences for security.

Email is still the most common way attacks begin. Phishing, business email compromise, and brand impersonation all rely on one simple weakness: by default, anyone can send an email that claims to come from your domain. The protocol that email runs on was never built to verify who a sender really is, so a criminal can forge the "From" address to look exactly like it came from your company, and the receiving mail server has no built-in way to know the difference. That is the gap attackers exploit, and it is the gap DMARC was designed to close.

In 2026, Bitcoin mining hardware is no longer judged by nameplate hashrate alone. As hashprice compresses and network difficulty rises, Bitcoin ASIC efficiency increasingly determines how long a machine can remain above its shutdown price. Yet J/TH is only the starting point. The power efficiency ratio shapes miner-side electricity demand, while mining rack density determines how much usable hashrate a facility can extract from limited power, cooling capacity and rack space.
